    While it is necessary to delegate different tasks to team members, leaders also possess the responsibility of their team as a whole. While my Robotics team was revising our robot for the VEX Robotics Mid-Atlantic Championships, I made sure to keep track of the team’s progress in the engineering notebook, as well as supervise the work of my fellow team members.

    In Better than a Human: Why Robots Will-and Must-Take our Jobs by Kevin Kelly, the author voices his opinion about how robots will eventually replace humans in the workforce and how, according to the author himself, “The robot takeover will be epic.”(301). The article describes how all jobs from blue collar to white collar will no longer need to be done by humans, but yet gives no clear evidence or any information on how this will happen. The author doesn 't provide any strong supporting details to back up his claim and what make matters worse is that he contradicts himself further in to the reading saying how we will be working alongside with the robots as well. The article is completely one sided and doesn 't provide repercussions or backlash…

    The years of high school are some of the most important for many. The events of that brief moment can shape the future of many in unexpected ways, whether it be for better or worse. As a high school student, I have yet to see just how the choices I make even now will shape the future, but I can see them gradually taking root. The studies, classes, and other activities that I have taken have presented a different way to look at the world and increase my knowledge, giving new options for later in life that I may have never considered. One of the most impacting events though, is most likely my time in the VEX Robotics Competition.…

    One of the most important, yet seemingly small differences, is the name given to the narrator in the movie, Charlotte. She never names herself throughout the written story. The choice not to name a main character of a story was very well thought out by Gilman. A no-named character gives the readers the ability to relate because they could just as easily be this person as to anyone else. The writers of the film not only chose to name the narrator, but they chose the name of the author of the original story.…

    In Robots and Minds, William Lycan tries to show that it is feasible that robots can have the same kind of mind that humans do, under the condition that machines are able to have consciousness just like humans. He further expounds this theory by introducing AI, claiming that researchers have already designed machines that can do human-functioning activities (such as reading books, playing chess, etc.) Lycan concludes that all of these actions are considered to be intelligent behavior in human standards. However, Lycan perceives the word “intelligent” as too generalized, and goes to compose his own definition: where intelligence is the ability to provide responses and to be able to adapt to unexpected situations.…

    I believe personal success is finding a happy niche in life. The human spirit will never be satisfied with traditional indicators of success, such as money, power, and enhanced social status. A janitor and a CEO can be equally successful, if they are personally content. If I can find a profession where I feel fulfilled, as though my work is making a difference, and I enjoy working most days, I will be successful, personally and professionally.…

    In the genre of science fiction, authors and directors create new worlds of fantastic possibilities. Some of these worlds take place in our future, theorizing about things that are to come, while others take us to galaxies far, far away. Regardless of where or when the story takes place, particular conventions are always certain. One such convention is that when a new technology is central to the plot, the technology will cause harm. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan demonstrates this through the building of the Genesis project, Jurassic Park through the revival of dinosaurs, and I, Robot through the creation of robots and the “three laws”.…

    Spare Parts is the story about how four young boys who came together, with the help of their teachers, accomplish something amazing. Throughout Joshua Davis’ story of Spare Parts, there are hints and allusions that combine to form the bigger picture. What makes the story even greater is most people had such little expectations for them since they were illegal immigrants. One of these major themes is the idea of whether it is worth it to put effort into anything, even when the chances of success seem rather slim. This is the driving force of the main plot regarding the robotics competition.…
